What's worth playing on Atari ST today?

[ Show youtube player ] doesn't look or sound too shabby.

Actually that looks awesome, if there was additional ground targets and different types of ships mixed together it will be fully professional game

Indeed

I guess music and crunching ASM routines need work.

that looks awesome. Graphics are incredibly good.

This just proves with modern color management. 16 colors is more than you need.

In some ways the atari st sound chip has aged better than amiga. Mainly because it does not allow for clinky clonky samples. Even today really high quality games get ruined by windows free ware esque binky bonky samples.

Possibly not worth playing but one games I remember seeing for Atari was Road Runner, advertised in one of our Amiga magazines. https://www.mobygames.com/game/road-runner

‘Oids’ was another I was keen on experiencing on our Platform.

I dont think there are many old school atari st games that are worth playing, if you have an amiga.

But there seems to be quite a few new cool games.

Thank you for the suggestions. They look rather interesting.

Never thought I would ever think about downloading an Atari emulator... but lo

When you talk about ST emulation, they say Hatari is the best, but I've never been able to get it to work at a reasonable speed, and the interface looks horrible. Steem SSE was the one I used back in the day, but it seems to be broken now.

Hatari is without any doubt the best emulator. Don't know why you've had problems getting it to work at a reasonable speed, I'm currently emulating an ST and CPU usage is 5.8%. I'm only using an i5-4470.

Single and only reason why I have a MiST hooked up on my desk.

As far as sound, try Oxygen by Jarre and Foreign Afair by Mike Oldfield samples on the ST. I remember sitting as a kid and listing to these two over and over, in awe that a computer can sound this good. Of course at the time I didn't have any access to the Amiga...

This is a great game. Nice little play on youtube of the game by Quill18.

I never played it myself, but I've heard a lot of people recommend it. Apparently it's a great sci-fi RPG.
